DRAFTING FATHERS
WILL START SOPH
Fathers of this community with
pre-Pearl Harbor children will not
be cabled by the local ■'selecti ve ser
vice board before November, officials
stated yesterday. It may be that
heavy drafting of fathers will not
begin until later. The October call
for the 11th will not include any of
this group, it is stated.
The number* of 18-year-old youths
registering on their birthdays is rela
tively small, it is stated, and will
make very little difference in the
general draft picture. * _
The position of fathers in this draft
picture has long been { obscure, the
army saying fathers are needed and
other factions saying drafting of
fathers will not be necessary. Con
gress icnal debate on the subject con
tinues.
The local board has completed in
ventories of all registrants which will
be forwarded to national headquar
ters for compilation. '

On last Wednesday evening more
than 200 members of the Prerfjyte-
rian church family attended the
“church loyalty” meeting. Rev. Jul
ian Lake of Rock Hill, who was the
guest speaker, brought with him Miss
Jane Little and Miss Emily Dillard,
students at Winthrop, Mrs. W. C.
Twitty, and Miss Sara Hunter, Pres
byterian student worked ai Winthrop,
to attend the rally. So well did mem
bers of the circles prepare to feed
the guests that after supper boxes
were sent to the girls from the
church who are attending Winthrop.
This thoughtfulness was greatly ap
preciated, the girls have reported,
since nothing tastes quite so good to
a college students as a “box of food
from home.”
This column is in receipt of a let
ter from CPL. HAROLD L. O’DELL,
of Goldville, who has been overseas
for a year serving with the marines
'in the south Pafific. “It is a little
hard over here,” he writes, “but we,
don’t mind as long as we get more
Japs.” He also sent the following
definition of a marine: “The United
States marine is a military phenome
non who looks like a soldier, talks
like a sailor, fights like a wild cat,
and thinks like a princess of the
royal blood. Always a modest fellow,
the marine describes himself as a
soldier who can read and write.”
